Kukla's Korner Hockey

Carolina Hurricanes fan Tyler Anastasi got a taste of how seriously Canadians take their hockey at the Stanley Cup finals this week.
The 14-year-old, standing outside Raleigh, North Carolina's RBC Center, hung a stuffed toy buffalo from his hockey stick, a symbol of the Buffalo Sabres team the Hurricanes vanquished last week. In his other hand he held a sign, ``Edmonton, You're Next.'' A carload of Oilers fans ``wanted to cut him down, and one of them showed me his knife,'' a bewildered Anastasi said through his braces.
